President Donald Trump said the Qatari-donated jet that has served as Air Force One will be sent for upgrades, as concerns mount over the plane’s security features.

Security Concerns

Trump was asked about the newly renovated plane’s missile-defense capabilities on his return from the FIFA World Cup final in New Jersey on Sunday. He told reporters at Joint Base Andrews that the plane will be upgraded to address these concerns.

According to CNN, two US officials said security personnel felt more comfortable with the president aboard an older plane, which was built from scratch with the commander-in-chief’s safety in mind, rather than the plane that had recently been retrofitted after it was donated by Qatar.

A major White House investigation was launched to identify who in the government leaked information about these security deficiencies, with some officials being asked to turn over their phones to investigators on White House grounds, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.
